Executing Windows app online

Donald Barber 1

I have created a Windows 10 app (a family tree program) using Visual Studio and C#. I want my relatives to be able to execute it online. Can Azure do this? If not, what should I do?

@Donald Barber , Thanks for posting this question!
Just to clarify, when you say, "I want my relatives to be able to execute it online." Are you looking at ways your application users can access/use the provisioned app or control/manage the app?
Is that, a mobile/Web application?
Are you hosting your App on Windows App Store?

Just to highlight, Azure offers several ways to host websites/apps: Azure App Service WebApps (PAAS solution), Virtual Machines (IAAS), Service Fabric, Azure Storage (for static website) and Azure Static Web Apps. Kindly see Decision tree for Azure compute services., for more details on this topic.

On an Azure Virtual Machine (in your case Windows), you would typically perform the exact same steps/process as you would on-premise.

@Donald Barber ,

Furthermore, just to provide you a good understanding on several options hosting website on Azure.

Treat this flowchart as a starting point. Every application has unique requirements, so use the recommendation as a starting point. Then perform a more detailed evaluation:

Thanks for your response. I envision all users executing the same online app to view or edit family tree data. I don't think it would display on a cell phone, but it would display on a desktop or notebook or maybe a tablet computer. I'm not hosting on Windows App Store. Sounds like Azure is an option. Thanks again for your information.
